Teaching

Already in the first years of my professional career I startet sharing my knowledge with young students. Since then, I have developed a passion for teaching. My practical work and my teaching activities influence and support each other. I constantly reflect on my creative, implicit knowledge and summarize this knowledge in a methodically structured way. I also consolidate my technical know-how through comprehensible processing. The joint discussions with the students about best practice examples make me question conventions and my own routines. The exchange inspires me and keeps me in touch with the latest trends.

Staging Sound

Zürcher Hochschule der Künste

In a 6-week minor program, students learn about the use of sound as a means of spatial expression in artistic practice. I co-designed this program with a colleague and the department head, and together, we will lead it.

Doing Philosophy I - Sonic Encounters

Zürcher Hochschule der Künste

As part of the exchange project Sonic Encounters, I co-taught a course with my colleague Antonia Alessia Beeskow that explored sound as a medium of intercultural and sensory expression. Students were introduced to the fundamentals of audio editing and recording, with a special focus on artistic field recordings and their musical abstraction. During a two-week process, participants conducted a field trip to record sound in selected locations and collaboratively developed performative audio pieces based on their impressions. The project invited students to question the boundaries between sense-making and sensuality through listening.

Walking Stories - experiments on location based media

Goethe Universität Frankfurt || Akademie für Lehrerfortbildung und Personalführung || Riemenschneider Gymnasium Würzburg || Chiemgau Gymnasium Traunstein || Grund- und Mittelschule Pöttmes

In addition to my enthusiasm for location-based audio, I have developed a workshop program for students of various age groups. Under my guidance, students work on creating audiowalks using various technologies such as wireless headphones, GPS, and QR codes. This allows them to develop media literacy, storytelling skills, fundamentals of audio editing, and proficiency in handling locative media.
